8/10 Very good

The Drift is an interesting hotel but basic with very few amenities, no fridge or coffee maker in the room, not even a water glass. The bed was comfortable but no comfortable seating in the room. Lots of concrete. No comfortable seating around the pool. The staff was friendly and breakfast at the on-site restaurant was good. We would not likely stay here again.

Nathen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was nice, very boutique and comfortable. We liked hanging out by the pool, loved the food but especially the quesadillas at the hotel bar/restaurant and the Cabo coffee they serve is delicious!! The kitchen staff were super friendly, the rest of the staff can benefit from the same smile and friendly attitude.

Hurricane good time!

We visited Drift on a trip to enjot the Mezcal selections. We returned this time to stay, and enjoy the Mezcal selections. The weather did not cooperate this stay but we were treated great by the staff and we still had a wonderful stay. Just wish it could have been longer. And without a hurricane.

Small, quaint hotel in the heart of art town. Many restaurants and shops are nearby. Parking was close, but no parking at all at the hotel or on its street. Very large, modern but rustic, nice clean rooms.

Very intimate and beautiful location right in the center of El Centro and the hotel blew us out of the water. Extremely clean room, friendly staff and extremely accommodating. Felt like a hidway from the breaches and felt close with all the locals. Recommend 10/10

10/10 Exceptional

Location was amazing. We split our vacation in two - 3 nights here for a “city” experience following by 3 nights at a beach hotel. We had so much fun exploring the city. We booked the “ Baja Suite”. Highly recommend paying the little extra for this room. It was very private and roomy. Hotel itself was very relaxed and pretty. Room was cozy and the staff were lovely. There is a spa next door where we had an awesome massage. Would stay again.

Definitely overpriced for how simple it is

Super cute and affordable

This is the cutest hotel. Very boho chic. Super comfory beds and very nice rooms. The pool, bar and restaurant are super nice too. The bar is a meccal bar so if you like that, it's for you.

ARIANA, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Alex helped my wife and me during our stay. He was very kind and truly tried to provide the best service, which made us feel well taken care of. The hotel has a lot of positives. It’s located right in the heart of downtown, so we could easily walk to great restaurants and shopping spots. Also, the room was clean and stylish. The only downside was the noise at night. There’s a club nearby, so it can get a bit loud after midnight. But the hotel provides earplugs, which helped us sleep better.

We thought the reception staff were very helpful and provided great service with luggage assistance and getting us settled into our room.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay

Lovely stay, excellent location in Gallery/historic district. Walk to Art Walk and a multitude of restaurants. Rooms were ready upon early arrival with an offer of a welcome drink. Rooms are industrial in design, beds very comfortable and quality linens. Mezcal bar on site and food and beverage service. Small pool. We really enjoyed the Art Walk and celebrating a family birthday. Would recommend this small hotel.
